Default Wheels: with/without lip - Poll

Ive been looking at wheels for a little while now and I've seen many nice options with or without a lip. Just curious what you prefer (on a 2IS that is).

I really think with a RWD car, go and get some lip. I don't like it to outrageous but a nice staggered look.
Funny though, my next set of wheels for the GS will continue to be staggered but no lips
Good luck!

I prefer a lip but there are quite a few full-faced wheels without a lip that I wouldn't mind rockin'.

I u might want to change poll to larger than 2" lip as 1" lips are way to small.

I love either a really big lip, or none at all. I voted no lip.

as long as the rim is made to be that way, i have seen some rims that to achive the deep lip the face is so concave or convex depending on how you look at it, the face looks out of whack.

this is a good example, IMO the face on the rear looks wierd...........its not flat enough
